This afternoon I received a message from an eBayer that simply said "this is fake FYI" regarding a Canada Goose expedition parka I listed last night. It reminded me of ATLnoob's situation yesterday, so I didn't think much of it.

Looked into it when I got home from work, and sure enough, it's fake. I scanned through similar listings, and found several other fakes for sale by what seem to be reputable sellers.

Obviously I immediately ripped down the listing, but I still feel scummy. On a high price item, I should've done a little more work on the front end to verify authenticity. It was a BINOBO, so fortunately nobody purchased the parka before I received the message.

Had the exact same thing happen on my first PRPS, took me all of 3 seconds to figure out they were fake when I actually researched. Took down the listing, threw them out.

could anyone help verify if this is legit? Its a really nice trench coat with removable lining and waist belt. The lining looks to be wool and everything looks too nice to fake but this tag gives me a bad feeling

Are you in Austin? Just passed on that exact retarded label either today or yesterday, thought it was a jacket, almost took a picture of it. Spotting a crazy amount of fake ties lately, Armani, Boss and EZ. Found a real Hermes today, stained and tattered.... sad.

Wow. I'd say you made a convincing statement.

not in texas but good to know it was a solid pass! hopefully i'm picking up the fake cues quick enough!

I think the most fake stuff I see is PRL - the everyday Polo RL stuff, not RLPL or RLBL, and it's pretty easy to spot from the label / color of thread used to sew on the label / pony (if there is one). Got my taint burned a few times on fake PRL. The sizing is almost almost always off as well.

Aside from that, Burberry and Hermes seem to be top fakes, esp on eBay - I'd never buy anything of either brand from a non-US seller, who doesn't offer refunds, and even then you have to know what you're buying (Hermes "H" belt fakes are so crazy now that they counterfeit the receipts etc).

Reprieve! Monday is a USPS holiday...thankfully. I was not looking forward to potentially labeling & packing 50+ items tonight, though I know there are guys here who do more than that in one day on a regular basis. Not my idea of fun.
